About Us
Skill, professionalism and punctuality — at all times.
SASLINC promotes integrity, friendliness and quality customer service. From our South African Sign Language (SASL) interpreters and consultants, we demand skill, professionalism and punctuality at all times. We are dedicated to bridging the gap in communication between Deaf and hearing people.
SASLINC will provide you with qualified SASL interpreters that are professional, timely and familiar with the expectations and terminology to your specific needs such as legal, medical and educational. Each of our SASL interpreters must pass a thorough skill evaluation and are screened for their experience and professionalism.
Our SASL interpreters have completed an interpreter training programme and they are encouraged to continuously attend personal development programmes. SASLINC always strives to make use of at least one SATI accredited professional SASL interpreter to work with a non-accredited SASL interpreter — with the aim of mentoring and developing SASL interpreters who are not yet accredited.
What sets us apart
Professional standards, human warmth.
